They don't do anything but take your money. No help at all.

My husband left me high and dry and took our children. I had no idea how to get help with divorcing him and his abuse. Family Court Direct took care of everything and now I finally have my kids and the house! If you need help, don't hesitate!

I had a very difficult time and was dealing with a nasty divorce and custody case I don’t know how the court system works and this company helped me understand and navigate through it Allison was super helpful friendly and professional there were some specific issues that she transferred me to a gentleman named Michael that answered my questions and guided me in the right direction thank you for everything I highly recommend this for anyone that needs help understanding this process that can be so overwhelming

Thank you Family Court Direct! I am going through a messy custody battle and called in for more information on their services and was able to get all of my questions answered and enrolled in a great program! I got exactly what I wanted! Special thank you to Allison and Mike for their compassion and patience!

So I’m calling my bank and reporting fraud....no just no. DON’T DO IT! Not okay!

These people are horrible! I paid an upfront costs for services which were never rendered. They said I needed to pay addition money to get the services I had already paid for in the first place. I never do reviews, but this experience has compelled me to do my first. My strongest advice is to find another agency and read their reviews first. My name is Miguel Sanchez.

I talk to a guy all he wanted was money this is a scam when he found out I was not going to give him my card number he said then lose my number and don't call back glad I didn't fall for this scam

Jeff Lightbody was a very helpful man , in my process to gain custody of my daughter although i did not get full custody i got a considerable amount of more time with my daughter. he often answered questions within 24 hours. He was always proffessional even when i asked difficult questions. i appreciate his services and will use them again anytime i need legal paperwork reviewed and talked about . Great service for people with full time jobs and does not have ability to hire a lawyer.

Family Court Direct was the perfect choice for my situation. I was very pleased at the level of professionalism and patience that the legal team had in my case. I needed custody of my two girls in a speedy manner. All my expectations were met. Jeff Lightbody was exceptional and answered all my questions. He was very patient with all the phone calls that I made to his office. My case was resolved and I now have legal and physical custody of both my children. The decision to go with Family Court Direct was worth every penny that I paid. I would recommend Family Court Direct to any one needing legal action.

This company is amazing I would recommend to anyone who needed help all my paperwork was put together for filling and the fee was reasonable thanks Jeff and the legal

I think they are a scam

From the first phone message I received from Robert, Family Court Direct, I could tell he was a caring individual. Robert, Michael. and Steve were all helpful, trust worthy, and very caring individuals. They gave my fiancé and I the time we needed to explain our situation. They were not judgmental. They all had some good suggestions. We look forward in our future dealings with Family Court Direct. Diana and Dave

This place is scam. They lied to me stole over $1000 from me and refuse to give it back. They told me they could do something specific and once I paid told me there was no point. On top of that told me it would be extra money to complete a task even though I had clearly explained to them my case. Jeff lightbody is a liar and a theif!

They help for less than an attorney

This place needs to be reported-NTERNET SCAM. Once they get your card number you are called by five different people by the name of Scott and Jeff. Money is taken and the phone tag begins. No service was received! Wasted time and money!

They helped me when I didn't even know this kind of help for a single father even existed. They listened to me and didn't just give me the run around or just tell me what they think I needed to hear. They are thoughtful and very respectful even when it comes down to you just venting, they are there for you in your time in need. Thanks again Family Court Direct it means the world to me thank you for you services and God Bless You All.

Update: Received call from manager Michael Vazquez he was very knowledgeable and nice. He apologized for Scott Maio’s rude behavior on yesterday. Michael provides great insight and the best legal steps that best fits your situation.

This place is a scam I feel. I had a appointment set up
For 10 am this morning and no one called for the appointment and I keep trying to call and it’s going right to voicemail and by no means is this professional I’m so furious that this company is taken advantage of people

Services have far exceeded expectations! Customer service has been exceptional as well! Highly recommend this company!

How come nobody is returning my calls or texts. I paid the money to get your services,so where are they!?

Leaf.. If I could give this company 0 stars I would. Leaf is very unprofessional and hung up in my face because I couldn't provide my card information to him at the time he requested. Leaf took additional steps and followed that up with a threatening text message closing my request for help on the basis that I was preoccupied with my job at the time he gave me a call requesting payment . This company is a scam and only wants your money... PLEASE do not use this company. ..

Requested information about the service. Recieved a callback later that day. When I did not want to give all of my personal information upfront before I got information about what thir services entailed the agent (Scott) was extremely rude and hung up on me. When I called back to talk to a supervisor I was hung up on again. Honestly this appears to be a scam and I would not recommend it at all.

THEY ARE A SCAM... DO NOT SEND THEM A PENNY

Love the service and they work with u and they want to help

Jeff was my case manager. I told him my story and we decided document services were the best options. I made it a priority to pay them off ahead of the alloted payment schedule they made for me amd in return they made my case a priority. I had all my documents sent to me and I filed them within a month of hiring their services. As of now I am awaiting a court date and a final outcome. They were prompt nice and always returned calls and emails the same day I reached out to them. I will update my case and add another review when it concludes. These negative reviews seem to me that the people did not uphold their wnd of the agreements. I woyld recommend this service to any Father or Mother fighting for visitation enforcement for their children. Thanks guys I will keep you updated on the outcome.

They helped me every step of the way. Jeff always answered or called me back. I would recommend to people with a budget

They have helped me all the way through this. Even though in tthe middle I got incarcerated. They held my previous payments till i got out. And have been with me every step of the way. I just filed my paperwork yesterday and they had all the info i needed, even did all the calls in finding correct info for my state. They havs been amazing and they always get right back with me and are prompt. Thank you so much. They were so helpful.

It is absolutely a nightmare trying to make a connection with this agency. This is not a good vibe of things to come. I am very distressed and disappointed. Me and my daughter needed emergency help.

Always have been punctual. Proffessional in every aspect of what i required or needed. I feel they were absolutely stupendous helping me with not only my legal situarion but even lending an ear to my situation. Seemed like they truly sympathized with my situation. I recommend them to everyone and will continually. Thanks to jeff , micheal and the whole team for your dedication and work on my case.

Great job

They're very great to work with and very helpful and patient with the payment plan I'll definitely recommend them to anyone...

I have been dealing with family court direct for about a year now. my child has moved around from state to state and my case manager has been with me every step of the way. I have read some past reviews and noticed that some people were skeptical on the price however, with legal fees of any kind will always be more than a hundred dollars. My case and my son is worth it. i recommend this company to anyone with any legal battles or concerns.

We used FCD when we needed to get temporary custody of our Niece who lived in New Mexico. We live in California and talked to 4 different lawyers in California and New Mexico. None of them could help. Family Court Direct did all the documents and gave us the instructions on exactly where to go and what to do. It worked out perfectly.

I called trying to get help for visitation with my husbands daughter because his ex wife is refusing to let him see her with no reason but anyways the guy I talked to was Bryan and they way he talked to us was very unprofessional he was rude and when I finally got sick of him being so rude I told him that I was done and we would find a different company and I hung up on him he called me back and left me a voicemail that said bye crybaby this is not acceptable at all

$1,900 down the drain don't waist your time because of them I lost my kids.

Negative 10 on the stars, these people are NOT Real attorneys, they are just a bunch of paralegals. You will never talk to an attorney and you have to wait for days to hear from case manager Jeff Lightbody which puts your case behind. You will have to do everything. They only type it up on paper and send it to you. I lost custody of me daughter after a 3 year battle with breast cancer. My ex withholds her from me. I lost money, and time because of them. DO NOT DO IT!!!!

I paid their service to help me prepair the necessary paper works that I need for custody hearing. The papers did not come on time no matter how much follow up I did. the papers came late and has so many corrections. Then they are charging my credit card for an amount that I dont know. It looks like this company is a scam.

It really is a shame that this company would take advantage of peoples emotions. We were trying to get visitation rights for our grandson. All they did was take our money and haven't heard from them since.

I talked to Courtney, a lady that told me everything I wanted to hear. After giving her my card number but telling her that i will call back the next day after talking to my husband. I never signed the file she told me I had to sign before $250 was being taken out but come to find out as soon as I got off the phone the $250 was taken out of my account and I called both numbers back and left voice mails and no call had been returned. Courtney had called me back hours later to explain to me that she was sorry the money was supposed to be on a "hold" and that she was kind of new at this. Before she called back my husband has went to Wells Fargo and cancelled the card and posted a fraud on our account and now she says that the money will be refunded to our account posted at midnight and still today the money is not back into my account. Very upset they used my situation agenst me to get money out of me. Not sure how these people go about their day knowing they are doing this.

my mom was granted her grandparents rights without even having to see the judge! thanks so much for your help!

I had sent them $300 on a case thatchanges quickly from visitation to custody as my child's situation took a critcal turn. I was about to send them more in an effort to get representation @ a discounted retainer cost. It pains me knowing my situation requires representation but i can not afford the usual fees. Thank you for the warnings, i could have lost alot more.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, use this company. The biggest scam fraudulent company ever. When I first spoke to them, yes yes yes to everything with helping us for child custody. Of course payment of a little over $500 was charged quickly. As soon as that happen, they send a bunch of paperwork to fill out, only to email you back asking the same questions. Then to tell me, you better off to giving the custody up to make it easier. This company is a freaking joke. I did not pay you to give up on my child. After realizing they wasted months of back and forth bs'ing. I emailed them back asking for my refund and of course now it's no reply and it's been over a month yet when it came to money they replied within the day. They are a total scam. Everyone who been scam before please keep reporting them so they can take these frauds out of business! I am writing to many authorities and news to show how scandalous this company is with all email given as proof. Save yourself from them any future clients that are reading this. This is serious! They are not here to help you in any way.

They are cheats and only steal your money. They are a scam and will cause you to lose your money. I have proof they are a scam

Do not waste your time with these people, you better off going to your court house in your county and having them help you , or get a lawyer. These people are a joke. You can never get a hold of them for days. Seriously not worth your time or money. Had to send them documents that were not filled out, and then had to try to file 3 times and the courts wouldn't accept them because I was missing documents. I ended up hiring a lawyer.
